Winners Announced For "Chow Down With Fred"

Saturday, August 13, 2011

Six lucky fans will have their dreams come true during the IRWIN Tools Night Race Weekend when their hero, Fred King, takes them for a night on the town as part of the “Heck Yeah, I Want To Chow Down With My Hero Fred” contest.

Harry and Arline Mecannic of Burgettstown, Penn., Rick and Lynn Freeman of Lincolnton, N.C. and Herb and Sandy Harrington from Haslett, Mich. are the winners of this season’s contest and should prepare for the racing experience of a lifetime.

The winners will be swept away for an exciting night with Fred and his wife Judy on Thursday of race week. The group will travel by limousine to The Troutdale Dining Room in Bristol and will receive individual customized gift bags containing over $250 dollars worth of BMS merchandise. To complete the weekend, the couples will receive the holy grail of motorsports, cold pit passes for Saturday afternoon of the IRWIN Tools Night Race.

“I’ve been doing this contest since 1998, and every year it become even more popular. I want to think it is the chance to hang out with me, but I think the pit passes have something to do with it,” said King. “I want to thank everyone who participated and hope they will enter again next year for the chance to win the ultimate race week package.

“We will begin taking entries for August 2012 with publication of the next Bristol Magazine. For details, be on the lookout for my article that will appear in the issue.”
